Fig. 1From: DNA metabarcoding of spiders, insects, and springtails for exploring potential linkage between above- and below-ground food websForward primer position within 5.8S rRNA region. Around the insertion/deletion site within the 5.8S rRNA region, nucleotide sequences are well conserved within Hexapoda except for Lepidoptera and Sternorrhyncha. Hexapoda, and Araneae primers and Araneae-specific blocking primers were developed around the insertion/deletion site (Table 1)Back to article page
